Where
building services such as pipes, ducts and cable trays, penetrate
fire rated walls and structures, the Fireplug slabs are appropriate
for reinstating the integrity and fire rating of those structures.
They can be easily cut to the size and shape of any aperture,
using a knife or saw, and inserted into voids around the services
to form a smoke tight seal that is capable of holding back fire
for up to four hours. |

|
Fireplug
Intumescent Slabs are manufactured from a high density low resin
content mineral fibre batt that has been coated with Fireplug
fire retardant, ablative coating. The standard coating colour
is white. |
|
Under
the action of heat the Fireplug coating expands to form an insulating
layer on the mineral fibre slab. The slab in turn retains stability,
holding back fire and heat as designated. |
|
Tested
following the principles of BS476, part 20 and 22 (1987). Loss
Prevention Council Report Nos. TE82128 and TE82464 and SGS Yarsley
report No. j85163/9. Tested for smoke emission to BS6401 (19830.
The maximum optical density Ds obtained was 97. Loss Prevention
Council Report No. TE82511. |
|
The
slabs should be cut to size and shape using a sharp knife or saw.
The overall dimensions of the seal should allow a tight fit within
the void. All penetrating services should be coated with Fireplug
for a minimum of 150mm either side of the Fireplug FPS for insulating
purposes. |
|
Up
to two hours integrity rating |
A
single Fireplug slab coated on both sides, friction fitted in
voids up to 1 metre in any dimension. Over 1 metre the Fireplug
slab should be supported using a single steel angle frame fixed
in place using steel stud anchors at maximum 300mm centres. For
insulation rating see the table (above). Where the fire can approach
the Fireplug slab from only one direction, a single Fireplug slab
coated on one side can be installed. For example - a void in a
150mm blockwork wall should have the coated sides facing outwards. |
|
Up
to four hours integrity rating |
Two
Fireplug slabs coated on both sides installed with a minimum of
40mm air gap between them, friction fitted in a void up to 1 metre
in any dimension. Over 1 metre the Fireplug slab should be supported
using a steel angle frame fixed in place using steel stud anchors
at maximum 300mm centres. For insulation rating see the table
above. |
